I would err on the side of the latter, as it's much less headache for me now, and in the future.

Personally (only my opinion) for your first rental I’d err on the side of buying a cash flowing asset that will teach you the ropes with leas on the line, then after you’ve done a couple of those and understand the full lifecycle of buying rental properties go and look at more complex strategies like new construction, BRRRR etc.

Ignorant :) though also bureaucratic and unable to shift their process even if knew the latter is erroneous.

This sounds like the right thing to do and I always try to err on the side of doing the right thing.  

Paul Passafiume I’m going to err on the conservative side and agree with those above that 1000 is likely fair.This year I had a Ohio return, cleveland city return, NC state return, federal return, and WI return to having a couple different jobs last year.

Better IMO to err on the side of making them feel like they got treated "more than fairly" to set them on a course towards a third year of renting than to save $50 now, leave a bad taste in their mouth over the laundry issue, and turn the apartment over next year.

No worries, I just err on the side of caution whether in email or online--there is no tone!

I changed the dates of the erroneous leases to the year 3000. 

@John JacksonCan you comment why so many friggin RE lawyers in TX talk out of their A$$ with executory contracts such as lease options and give erroneous advice?

@Randy E. yeah I definitely understand that and agree with you.In the end if he ever decides to proceed with an unlawful detainer, its better to err on the side of caution and just serve the 10 day notice.No sense in saving a few days when it could cause a bigger headache down the line Cheers
